Learning Context

Students learn the six categories of information never to enter into any AI research tool, Perplexity's specific data practices and privacy controls, how to evaluate source trust hierarchy, and the five categories requiring non-negotiable professional human review.

How this course works: each lesson explains the skill in plain language, shows a worked example, and ends with a student task you complete in Perplexity and a short quiz. The final assessment checks that you can apply the skill, not just remember it, and your saved prompts and results become reviewable training evidence.
